"We live in a society of social networks and Twitter pages and Facebook. That's fine and stuff, but you know, we have contact with our work associates, our family, our friends and it seems like half the time we're more preoccupied with our phone and other things going on instead of the actual relationships we have in front of us," he said at a press conference on Dec. 2.

Quinn's comments came 24 hours after teammate Jovan Belcher murdered his live-in girlfriend, and later committed suicide on Dec. 1, according to the Kansas City Star.

"Hopefully, people can learn from this, and try to actually figure out if someone's battling something deeper on the inside than what they may be revealing on a day-to-day basis," Quinn added.
